Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Role of Holy Imams (a.s.) in the Revival of Religion Vol. 2 Chapter 7 If they do not bear any grudge (which they did in the past) they will not be able to attribute to Islam such fallacies. Rather, they will acquire something opposite to Islam - a distorted and ruined Islam. What will the results achieved by us be if in the recognition of our own religion, custom and way of life, we refer to the European and Western sources?

Will we achieve anything other than the results of the thoughts and remarks of Kab and the like of him? Certainly not! Of course, we thank God that through His Grace and Favour, we have been able to find the way towards the two basic and fundamental sources of guidance i.e. the Holy Quran and Ahlul Bayt (Household of the Prophet).

In the previous discussions, we examined the one-class traditions from the influential and insinious agents in the Caliphate school where the one-class traditions belonged to the «Ahl-e-Kitab» - the Jews and Christians who had accepted Islam outwardly but had left a condign impression in the Caliphate school. Now, we shall examine yet another set of traditions springing from influential and canny agents which are the sabotage of the dualists in the books of the Caliphate school.

A manifest example amongst them is Abdul-Karim-ibn- Abil-Auja. The debates of Imam Sadeq (a.s.) and his manner of confrontation with Ibn-Abil-Auja[^1] has perfectly introduced and disgraced the latter before his companions and Shi'ites preventing him from marring the true stand of the Ahlul Bayt school of thought. However, his speech at the time of issue of his death-sentence reveals his concurrence with the Caliphate school.

In his address to the governor of Kufa (who was appointed the Caliph) he said: «You are sentencing me to death while I have registered four thousand traditions in your books of hadith.» Of course this address was directed at the representative of the Caliphate school who passed the death-sentence upon him and hence ended his evil activities against Islam.

[^2] In the preface of the first volume of the book - «One hundred and fifty false companions» reference has been made to some of this dualist's friends in the Caliphate school and their destructive activities. Another corrupted figure which we may mention amongst the dualists is a person by the name of Seef-ibn-Omar Tamimi.
